I doubt you will see it again it took 5 years for my brothers gtst to turn up and in ended up in Adelaide when some poor bugger tried to register it. Police called my bro and he called insurance who didn't care anymore and I'm sure it wasn't the guy trying to register its fault but buyer beware and he clearly didn't do his checks and it still amuses me the insurance company had no interest in recovering it even though they had paid the policy out. Moral to story, thieves steak car wait a few years then they can own it lol!

everyone car was found half stripped in ambervale - coppers said they are going to tow it back and give me a call back in a couple of days

Good result in the end mate hopefully nothing is damaged too much!!

How do you feel??

so close to ur home yet so far.. hopefully the cops found the people red handed with the car as it was.

unfortunately for you being half stripped the cost to replace it all may outweigh the policy and the car ends up written off :(

Because your not going to get new things like engines and seats etc so really I wouldn't know if id want it back

Yes, can you tell us more as news filters through please?

And for the sake of other SAUers here, is there anything you would have done differently to protect her?

I know the following is 'after the horse has bolted' but SAU Execs have organised a Tech Night in November to be held at Carbon Car Systems.

Found at a house - coppers had a search warrant for the place, tow it back to some police facility for forensics

Will keep you guys updated as news comes in my dads going to go and see if he can inspect it today and sus out the damage.

Invest in GPS tracking / more of a premium alarm...

That is great they found it! Hope the missing parts haven't gone far.

In regards to Terrys post:

Any car can be stolen, you can only slow them down unfortunately. Alarm, tracker, club lock, etc. (This means installed properly)

However (sorry) parking a performance car at a train station is asking for trouble. Not to mention Campbelltown is in the top 10 suburbs for theft...

Not having a go just saying probably not best idea. I live 10 min from a suburb with a higher theft rate :( so I am pretty paranoid about where I leave her and not to have any regular patterns.

    • Diagnosing with and without is mostly the same. You need to know, as Duncan asked, and what conditions. Car hot, cold, idling, driving, if while driving what rpms, is when you're varying, or is it when held constant.   From there it's understanding what can be causing it. Starting with pretending all of the sensors are correct. Which means if it's going rich, why would it be thinking more air is going in than it is, and under what conditions. So things like if only when under boost, it could be be a loose intake piping joint. It's just understanding the system, and understanding when/how the problem occurs, and then if it's only occuring in specific scenarios, what can be causing it.   ECU specifically, if it's aftermarket, it'll have software you can use, for the Skylines on factory ECU, there is Nissan Consult you can use. Most ECUs have a way to get data from them.
    • How do you go about diagnosing ecu's that don't have data logging, is it more experience at that point and just trying out things that you think will fix the issue?
    • Stock O2 are basically useless beyond anything at stoich. Any misfire will also be seen as lean. The stock O2 also read a collective exhaust gas volume, not each cylinder. Sputtering and missing means not each cycle is firing, and some are. Which means even if rich, as shit, on cylinders as they miss, they'll read lean, but the cylinders that did fire will read rich, and combined, well, they can read anything from rich to lean.   Start with the basics before even going looking at sensor values.   Edit: I say the above, and that's coming from the guy with a few thousand dollars worth of scan tools sitting right beside me right now that I use frequently for my job.
    • I just finished up a manual swap and I have a 1999 S2 AWD automatic in my garage, depending on where you are located. I'm in the the midwest of the US.
    • I’ve heard it can be done, you need to redrill the holes where they bolt to the chassis and apart from that they are the same. I’ve never done it or know anyone personally that has, it’s just something I’ve heard
